Operation

Nail guns launch fasteners at very high velocities that can cause serious injury if proper safety precautions are not followed. It is extremely important that you read and fully understand the

information in this section and all other safety warnings / recommendations and usage instructions before using the equipment. • ENSURE THAT NO PART OF ANY HUMAN, ANIMAL OR CLOTHING IS

PLACED IN/NEAR THE AREA WHERE NAILS ARE FIRED OUT OF THE TOOL, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU THINK THE TOOL IS EMPTY OR LOADED WITH NAILS. • Use ONLY air hoses that are

rated in excess of 150% the maximum system air pressure. • Disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing any tool maintenance, clearing a jammed fastener, moving the tool to another location, handing the tool to another person, or making adjustments.

Air Supply

This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air at regulated pressures between 70 and 100 PSI (4.8 to 6.9 Bar). The preferred air supply should include a filter, pressure regulator, and automatic oiler located as close to the tool as possible (within 5m (15') is ideal).

All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminates that are detrimental to internal components of the tool. An in-line filter and oiler will remove most of these contaminates and provide necessary lubrication which will significantly prolong the life of the tool. If an in-line oiler is not available, place 10 to 15 drops of air tool lubricating oil into the tool air inlet at the beginning of each workday.

Do not over-lubricate the tool. Excess oil will be vented with exhaust air when over-lubricated, which could stain materials. Purge excess oil first before you begin nailing by unloading any fasteners from

the tool, then "firing" the tool several times. The tool is equipped with a ¼" male NPT type "quick connector". The tool must always be connected to the

air supply with a coupling that allows all pressure in the tool to escape when the coupling is disconnected.

Loading Fasteners

Do not load fasteners of different lengths. • Do not load both staples and nails together.

1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

2. Pull out the magazine cover (A) until it locks in the fully

open position.

3. Place the fasteners into the magazine (B).

4. Make sure that the fasteners are placed correctly:

• Load staples over the rail (B) in the magazine.

• Load nails down one side of the rail (B), with the "L" part

of the head on the rail in the magazine.

5. Close the magazine cover until it locks in place.

6. Reconnect the tool to the air supply.

Nailing and Stapling

1. Fit the floor boards together and ensure that they are snug – use the mallet as required.

2. Position the tool over the tongued edge of the floor board (X), pressing the board stop (A) against the front of the floor board.

3. Put some downward pressure onto the tool to keep it steady. Ensure the board foot (B) is sitting flat on the floor board.

4. Strike the activator (C) with the rubber mallet (do NOT use excessive force; use ONLY a rubber mallet and strike with the soft end). The tool will then drive the nail or staple in at 45°. The correct nail length for various floor thickness is shown below.

Nailing Pre-Finished Flooring – The tool is designed for installing both unfinished and pre-finished

hardwood flooring. Care must be used however when installing pre-finished flooring to ensure that the finish is not damaged by the tool. It is recommended that the tool be inspected for damage, especially the board foot and tested on a sample section to be certain that the tool and the technique used do not mar the finish. This procedure should be followed before each job due to variations in flooring.

Removing Jammed Fasteners

You must remove jammed fasteners before using the tool any further, otherwise personal injury and/or damage to the tool may result.

A fastener jam will prevent the tool from operating normally. To remove jammed fasteners:

1. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.

2. Open the magazine, and remove the fasteners.

3. For the jammed fasteners, attempt to remove them with pliers or similar, however, do not use excessive

force. If it is not possible to remove the fasteners directly:

a. Remove the 2 screws (A) securing the board stop (B) using a 4mm Allen key. b. Remove the 3 screws (C) securing the fastener drive plate (D) using a 5mm Allen key. With the

fastener drive plate loose it should be possible to easily remove the jammed fasteners.

4. After removing the jammed fasteners, re-install the fastener guide plate and board stop, then load the

magazine and re-connect the tool to the air supply.
